Arso mos' honobur pool spot an BIG LOSAH!!










= ;>

me saying "he had them over .500" is not the same as saying he is solely responsible for their improvement. I could say Mike Brown got them to 50 wins last year, and that doesn't mean Mike Brown is the only reason they got to 50 wins. Try again, brutus.

why do I trouble you so much mortimer?? what is it about me??

Fo radies......you give MainCos 2 dollah........he become Fled Galvin....mayer plostitute.....he rove you rong time.

Better effort but still pales compared to my efforts.

Enjoy the Dr Phil show today mortimer, can't say it will be much help however. Maybe a synoptic friend will be on the show for you.

Ilgaugkas is a post up or spot up player, not very mobile. Has a nice touch but not the guy you want putting the ball on the floor in that situation.

Very true. They got a good posession. They got 2 very makable shots and a tip attempt. There surely could have been a foul called on Hamilton. Hughes makes the shot and everything is forgotten.

THUD

I was talking pick and roll...spotting up for a 15-20 footer.

Mike Brown coaching record
Regular season 100-64
Playoffs 15-11

The last 24 years Lenny Wilkins coached, his teams made the NBA finals exactly zero times. His lifetime playoff record is 80-98. His record as in the playoffs as a Cavs coach was 18-23. I may not be the expert in Cleveland sports lore that Morty is but I would say that Lenny was dealt a much better hand with Price, Dougherty, Nance, Ron Harper, Elho, and Hot Rod Williams than Brown's current roster.

And Van Gundy did a bang up job with the Rockets in the Playoffs.

Plus you lose many points by not admitting that Isiah is by far the worst coach in the league not named Doc Rivers. Unless you like a lot of other people dont consider the Knicks and Celts part of the NBA any more.

I'm sure you guys will disagree but I think that Brown has outcoached Flipper this series and is unlucky to not be up 2-0.

I really love the theory that if you shoot quick you have a better chance to win. If you are down one and make you give the other team another chance to win. If you are down one and miss and foul you are most likely needing a 3 to tie. I would love to see the probability on teams under 10 seconds in the playoffs, down three points that win or tie. maybe 3%?
They were playing to win the game. If either shot goes in they win. If they dont then they lose. Pretty simple. I'm pretty sure any playoff underdog on the road would love to be in the situation of controlling their own destiny with one last play.

You want a 20 footer from Ilgaugukas as your final play?

Oh my God!!




Someone call 911!!!

Plus in the Salary cap era those teams would have never been able to stay together

no (would prefer 15 footer!)...just an option for a play when the double or triple to LeBron comes...I would want a 20 footer from him over Hughes, Gooden, Marshall, Pavlovic etc.

And what play would you have run? Did you think that Detroit was going to let them get a "decent" shot? Why doesn't anyone talk about the great D played by Hamilton? He played that as well as it is possible to play it. He hampered the shot attempt with his arms across James arm without making it look like a certain foul. Stood his ground without moving towards the offensive player. Perfect d.

What "open look" were they going to get and for whom? Anderson? Hughes?

They did not execute. Simple as that. The play calling is moot. If you dont make shots you lose. Despite Mortys pleas to the contrary there are no appealing options for Cleveland in a half court set under those conditions.

Oh by the way Pat Riley was the godfather of the Pistons/Cavs series style of games. His Knicks of the 90's made thug ball popular

I'm not sure where the Brown is a terrible coach idea came from. This is the farthest a Cavalier team has ever gone. The '76 version under Fitch I believe was the best of the bunch and I feel would have won a title had not Chones broke his foot in practice before the Eastern finals. They were the best team in basketball come playoff time and still took Boston to 6 games without their leading scorer. They would have played a 42 win Phoenix team in the finals that year. The Wilkens teams were incredibly offensively talented with great shooting percentages and efficient offenses, but were peaking during the peak Jordan years which is an excuse Brown doesnt' have that Wilkens did. They still should have advanced to more than 1 conference final in his time.

Brown's first two years are by far and away the best first two years in the history of Cleveland the last 40 years. I mean Flip Murray was a key member on last year's team, and you see how much playing time he is garnering in Detroit this playoff season.

Again, I'm not sure why people on this forum think it is "easy" to get stuff against Detroit's defense. It never is and never has been. The opportunities they had the first two games are about as good as you can possibly get against that team.
